Letter: The county can handle the job

Congratulations to the Memphis Board of Education and the Memphis City Council. They have confirmed that they cannot run our schools. We knew that all along. Shelby County Schools have been better managed, and they have tried to provide a reasonable alternative to the Memphis city political posturing.

Maybe now we can get back to providing a quality education for our children and get out of the self-serving political scraps. It will be a painful transition, but our children will be better served. I think Mayor A C Wharton and Mayor Mark Luttrell will provide positive leadership during the transition.
